Last time, many truths were said.
What is the truth? Warrin asked. The quote unquote "Religion" we speak of which we don't name. The real name of it is Ierotism. Shiro replied. What's that? I've never heard of that name. Warrin replied. It's the true name of the religion the world practices. Shiro replied. The name "Creed of Iero" ring a bell? Jacinta asked. May I ask you a question? Warrin asked. Yes? Jacinta asked. Are you an priestess of the fallen utopia? Warrin asked. If you mean Ithaca, yes. Ierotism was at the forefront with the help of the demon generals with the same agenda. Jacinta replied. So your the priestess that gave up your humanity? Warrin asked. The history taught about Ithaca as if it's a form of fiction? Shiro replied. Master, are you connected to this? Warrin asked. Yes Warrin, Ithaca was a real place. Here is Jacinta Sari, Shiro's mother who is one of the priestess who fought them off. I replied. The priestess who gave up her humanity is what your told in the literature. Shiro replied. I'm sorry for what happened to you. Warrin replied. Of all the royals I've met. You are kind soul who has sympathy for others situation. Why is that? Jacinta asked. You could say, I'm my mother's child. My mom taught me to treat all races with kindness. Warrin replied. Your mother must be a foreigner. Jacinta replied. She is a human passing High Class Elf who was sent to the kingdom as one of my father's concubines. Warrin replied. Eirlys is flabbergasted. No one has ever seen your mother. Ally replied. If it gets out that the truth of what your mother is. I could only imagine the horrors they would have done. Feray replied. One of Avaritian Royal Family's secrets is before us. Interesting. Tempus replied. Warrin has been lied to all his life about his mother from that coward he calls a father. Megumi replied. Warrin sits down next to Eirlys. Learning the truth is dangerous, young man. Selene replied. My family wants me to take over in a few years. I don't want to do it. Warrin replied. Following us means you will be demonized and you'll loss everything. Araceli replied. I've come to terms with that. Warrin replied. Telling from your actions, the Royal Healer spoke to you. Ally replied. She told me to find the truth. Afterwards, escape the capital with Eirlys. I don't know why? Warrin asked. Eirlys is an elf/goddess hybrid who is human passing. If it's discovered she's an elf with goddess genetics they would capture her again and auction her off to the highest bidder. Feray replied. What is the obsession of Elves and Goddesses? I asked. Elven magic is critical for this to go off with a hitch. Goddess have affinities to certain attributes. Megumi replied. I know they abducted me because of my goddess and elf status. Eirlys replied. Hence why, I too suppressed my magic all the time. Elias replied. Feray chuckles. Tell them Fey. Juliet replied. Uhmm. This may sound weird but as you know I'm Edelwiss's vessel. Feray pointed at Eirlys and Warrin. Your parents. Sorry for hiding it. Feray replied. Warrin turned red. Eirlys turned her head. Are you good your majesty? Eirlys asked. Now that I think about it. Uncle Elias did say because of her workaholic tendencies your oblivious to own feelings and emotions too. Feray replied. If this is true, how did you get your title of Flower of Power? Eirlys asked. Same. Warrin replied. My goddess abilities and my connection to the Avaritian Royal Family. Feray replied. What do you mean? Warrin asked. Edelweiss is a power that was once in the First Queen's possession. After all, she is a vampire from the underworld. Who is fascinated with humans and their lifespans. Feray replied. So the phantom of the Royal Family is true? Warrin asked. I've met the first monarch. You remind me a lot of her. You meet her later on. She kept us all safe. Even helping Uncle Elias too. Feray replied. Looking at her reminds me of your younger self before the attack? Tempus asked. Never mind my emotional state. Eirlys replied. Feray, can you and your friend here give us an explanation on why these things are happening? Warrin asked. The gods are willing to let you all reset humanity. Only survivors are the people and creatures who hold ties to a patron god or a descendants such as Kaoru and Yumeko here. Tempus replied. No way, your Yumeko Tempus, Goddess of Ishtar?! Elias yelled. Elias and Warrin bowed to Megumi. We're not worth! Elias and Warrin yelled. Stop embarrassing yourselves and me. Eirlys replied. Ally chuckled. First things first, those three woman over there are the Goddess of the Apocalypse, Prince Warren. I replied. That's Saoirse, Alazne, and Inara's mom's they seem so cool. Feray mumbled. This is my grandmother Selene and her twin sister, Eos. Ally replied. Hello young man. Selene replied. Selene as in Selene the Mad Scientist Healer? Eirlys asked. The nerve. Yeah I use toxic plants as the base of my remedies but I have not killed anyone, yet. Selene replied. Every adult looked at her surprised and concerned at her response. Mika and Noelle ran over to Selene and Jacob confused. Hi Mika and Noelle. Selene replied. This is the only reason why she doesn't have silver bracelets. Shiro replied. That's mean. How dare you. The many times I've saved you from death. Selene replied. Mika and Noelle stare at Eos. Oh that's right, I'm your grammy's twin sister. Eos replied. I need to tell you all something. Warrin replied. What happened Warrin? Megumi and Shiro replied. Six of the seven gates are being opened. I was told Metatron's power is the only way to full open it. I heard the wielder is an time goddess in human flesh. Warrin replied. Yumeko. I mean Megumi has the blessing of Metatron. One of my descendants. Tempus replied. The goddess of time and fate, Aria Sefarina of Tempus. Warrin replied. Are you a historian? Tempus asked. I went to school for it. Warrin replied. I know that tone. I replied. My senior thesis was on if someone brought upon an event as this coming to pass. Warrin replied. There there, welcome to our world but only differences is that we interpret and translate everything. Shiro replied. I had a twitchy eye. I've only translated ancient ruins. Not much interpreting. Warrin replied. Don't look at me. Go grab that thick book and translate it. Shiro replied. Yes master. Warrin replied. Master, you didn't have to be so rude. Eirlys replied. You have to understand. These books are the Ithaca anthologies. My mother has the other anthologies in her possession. Shiro replied. We have been translating these four for the last two days not sleep. I'm running coffee and breakfast. I replied. I'm running on food and adult juice. Shiro replied. I'm surprised you haven't gotten sick. I replied. Kaoru, I'm not new to this, I'm true to this. Shiro replied. Right, Shiro did majority of the translations we're read today in our history books and other historical documents. I replied. Let's see this book. Warrin replied. As soon he started to read. These are the most well preserved text I've read. Warrin replied. The Ithacaian people were an highly advanced civilization. Jacinta replied. They will march towards the land of beginnings. With the blessings of heaven as our witness. Warrin replied. Where would that be? I asked. Oh no. Selene replied. So that's where they are heading. Eos replied. It's where Ithaca once resided. Megumi replied. Does the name Parini ring a bell? Shiro asked. That's a real place? Warrin asked. Yup and that's where everything will play out. Shiro replied. Where is Parini? I asked. Remember that region you three stumbled upon your sophomore year? You were close to it. Shiro replied. That's why we were let off the hook. I replied. Did we find it? Ally asked. Yes. Shiro replied. Not really. Ally triggered the defense system by her presence. Megumi replied. A goddess with heavenly and demonic attributes. Jacinta replied. Parini sound familiar. I heard it's where nature flows in pretty harmony. Yumi replied. Parini is in Invidia. In the outskirts of the Histrini in the wilderness. Juliet replied. She has such disdain. What's wrong, Juliet? Ally asked. She gained her imperial treasure there under the moonlit sky. Feray replied. We need to get there soon. The side effects of those gates opening will start the ripple effect. Juliet replied. Oh no, that means I will have to use Edelweiss other form don't I? Feray asked. Of course, not many people know about the Digitalis, Feray. Juliet. So you revealed the true flowers name. Tempus replied. What do mean, Tempus? Selene asked. Do you remember how Peresphone was so feared her name could never be spoken so pseudonyms were used in place of her name. Tempus replied. Edelweiss is the safe word for it's true name. Tempus replied. Feray fidgeted. We should get going. Shiro replied. Is something bad coming? Leilani asked. Shiro turned and his eyes opened wider.
